A Poem for Pres. Arroyo

DEJA VUYou were chosen by people to leadWhen an anomalous leader fledBecause of out crying Filipinos’ pleaTo vacate the office where they want you to be.

Certainly your countrymen expected you to be a modelAnd make the Philippines soar onto a new levelThat during afflictions be the mother they can always callAnd be the best ruler they shall ever recall.

Yes, you’ve done marvelous things indeedFor if not, perhaps you were never re-elected.But after pretty years of your term,Citizens are seeing things apart from good terms.

Filipinos are having the feeling of déjà vuTheir skies are turning to dark and no longer blueBut you keep on appealing that accusations are not trueWhich side is right? Your people want to know.

Filipino people therefore want the truthAre you squandering their own sweat’s fruit?If you do not want to be avowed guilty,Your people are requesting for transparency.

‘Coz for sure, you do not wish for a revolt to comeAnd hear them say, “What a monster you have become!”Nor be reminded that the State is not yours but their own.Or worst, be out casted in Malacañang – your borrowed home.
